exploded tissues

I am doing Paraffin-embedded sections of larval and juvenile marine fish,
and after staining (H&E), analysis of slides reveals that in several, the
tissues have become "exploded", i.e., interstitial spaces have become highly
exaggerated. Has anyone had experience with this before? I haven't seen
this before. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
